Higher Education - Free for all or Fee for all?
Newest Review: ... am looking to uni, however i have now found that half my a levels are blacklisted and the subject i wished ot take is also blacklisted, the subject im talking of is law, i had thought law would be a great subject to take, yet apparently not, however i cannot complain as a few years ago i would not have even had the chance ot go to uni, as higher education isn't free for all.
